Vanilla Shot
Vanilla Shot by Olfactive Studio is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with coriander, saffron and aldehydes, moves into rose, plum and opoponax and dries down to vanilla, caramel, myrrh and benzoin. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
